Cape drying washing my tights
I'll never take Washington's side
I love Washington Heights
Way we live is not for the kids
Even though it's all "just kiddings" and "sikes"
"Yo you blessed ma"
Is that a blessing in disguise?
Keep your head to the sky
You won't see the heads on the spikes
While the buck keep passing like the passing of time
Presence of life
Notables amongst nobles and peasants alike
But worlds'll collide
Even when both being polite
One side didn't ever get the chance to decide
If OJ's better than Sprite
That's the only way Woody's better than Snipes
Don't tokens get tired?
Guess tokens way better than swipes
12: 01 at the ball
I guess balls better than strikes

I HAD A DREAM AND IT WAS SO STRANGE, SO STRANGE
I SAW A WORLD AND IT WAS SO STRANGE, SO STRANGE

Crack a smile, dap, and hello
To blacks that are cowards
Black and yellow, black and yellow
Don't see too many abbots I see a lot of Costellos
Maybe it's because we born and bred to keep purple on our mind like we was Donatello
How can you ever wag flagella In a room so cramped there's barely room for jello?
The writing's on the wall Ain't any pics on the wall except Danny Aiello's
From the belly where the temp is 20 below I bellow out a note like Aaron Neville
I do my best to try to be my brother's keeper
But he won't keep it on the level
Proclivity for sympathy for the devil
Because their poppas were rolling stones
So they taking poppers, rolling stoned
Their eyes are glassy
Their house is glass but they be throwing stones
I HAD A DREAM AND IT WAS SO STRANGE, SO STRANGE
I SAW A WORLD AND IT WAS SO STRANGE, SO STRANGE

Another Friday night writing
Finger nail biting
In hiding
I could hear the children outside fighting
Politics as usual
Pow
Another UFO sighting
Perfect timing for some cheer and good tiding
But someone convinced a whole society that's not exciting
So I'm famished waiting for something fat
I feel like Jack Sprat dieting
The pressure's as if deep sea diving
Watching every move as if back seat driving
Nothing's private
Can't trust Verizon
It's event horizon
Night out and night in I recognize the conniving
Eyes to the divine that designed the environment
And assigned the assignment
Surviving
